Reach Assembly & Carriage
During a regular work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a large amount of stress. High durability of these things is definitely necessary in order to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach devices are designed using heavy-duty parts for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. In addition, excellent visibility is provided with the open carriage design and the optimal hose routing.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers rigidity and durability by being mounted on angled load rollers so as to resist side to side forces. Moreover, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure vibration and shocks during load handling. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been engineered for durability.
The Reach Arm Mechanism is made up of tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points. The pivot points help to lessen the movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly during rough tasks. In order to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings in order to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are a variety of wires and houses routed through a flexible track to be able to decrease potential binding and damage. Another important component is the carriage. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option in order to prevent high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to decrease stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's durability and rigidity are crucial to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence. This is moreso when the reach truck is being operated at tall lift heights. The mast should be rigid enough to resist any twisting caused by any off-center loading problems or the truck's motion. The mast should be sure it is able to rise and lower in a smooth way with the least consumption of power.
